THE MONEY MARKETS
The tendency Of the New York money
market this week has been in the direc-
ion Of greater ease and improved conf
dence. The present policy Of The treas-
ury to intrease the deposits IN the
national bank repositories at in
portsnt centers seems to have had
good effect, and no renewal Of
apprehensions IN regard to the influence
OF the Treasury Is to be noted, in spite of
the stOppage of bond purchases. At the
same time symptoms OF return Of
funds from the south and west are re-
ported, and there is general expectation
That in q few weeks this will considerably
improve the supply of funds at the east,
while sight must not be lost Of the fact
that the shrinksge in stock values has
diminished the requirements for specula-
tive purchases, and toe more liberal
policy pursued by the banks toward mer-
Camille borrowers has apparently dimin-
ished the pressure in that direction.
1t must be noted, however, that the
tendency, in spite Of the better feeling, is
to keep up rates as much as possible.
Money on call has been easy and il good
supply, the loaning rate for bankers bal.
ances on the Stock Exchange ranging
through the week from 81 per cent to S
per cent renewals are Effected at to
per cent and rates were unaffected by
the lower stock market during the
week. Time money is offered a
little more freely, though rates in
3 majority of instances have ruled at 6
per cent, with some variations down
to per cent. The situation with regard
TO mercantile paper has decidedly i'm
proved, and the banks, in view Of the
prospect Of better command of money,
nave been more liberal in granting &C
Communications, and in some instances
have become purchasers of paper. At the |
'ame time rates remain firm, from 81 to |
per cent. being quoted on good quality
Of paper, extra fine names in some in |
stances commanding lower rates, and in
stances Of extreme rates are becoming !

at the same instant. The date line would
occur wherever these communication
met. To the western part of Europe, tn,
Islands OF the Atlantic, to South Americt
| and the or alter part of North America
communication came from Rome west
ward. The date line could therefore no

To the eastern part of Europe and to Ash:
communication from Rome came

FIRE established in the Pacific
ocean between islands that re-
ceived dates by eastward and by west
ward communication. To illustrate this
in the case OF Alaska: Alaska as Russian
America, received its date from the west
corresponding with these Of Asis. The
northwestern psrt of British America re-
ceived rs dates from the &c s, CORE.
spending with those OF America and Eu-
rope. Russian Americans and British
Americans therefore differed as to the
day OF the week. Here was clear date
line causing confusion. When Russian
America, now Alaska, was purchased by
the United States, the day that was Sun
day with the Russians was Monday with
the Americans. But now the date line
has been pushed out into the straits and
Alaska conforms to the rest of the United
States.
1t will be seen that this date line can
not be located on any particular meridian
Its present approximate trend is as fol-
lows: Beginning az the North Pole, 1t
passes through Behring's straits, west of
Ciarke's Of St. Lawrence island, west OF
Cores island, thence southWe sterly be-
tween the Aleutlan islands and Asia,
then still southwesterly east of the group
OF the Kurile Islands, then Just east OF
the Japanese islands, Jesse and Nippon,
keeping west of Guadalupe and Mar
gerets islands, but east Of Loo Choo and
PatchOo islands and southeast of For
moss. Then through the Bsshee chau-
mel, just north of the Bashee islands 1t
enters the China sea east of Hong kong,
thence passes south Just west of the Pail
ippine islands, and keeping east of Pslawcn
island. Then taking s0utherly course,
passing through the S9oloo islands, sou b
Of Mindana and north of Gilclo. Here it
passes east nearly parallel with, but just
north OF the equator to north of Schank
island; thence sOutheasterly, leaving
Gilbert archipelago and De Pfyster
Group on the northeast; thence to the
Samoan. bland, where it turns south,
keeping east Of Navigator, Friendly,
Tonga, Va6qlz KermaGec ARD Gusts
islsnds and west OF the Society and
Cooks or Harvey island. Then it con-
tinues south, bearing somewhat to the
west so as to cross Chatham island :;
thence to the South pole.

we may trace s"Fhe International Date

what clsirvoyant could do. The result
has furnished theme for conversation
for that part of the county that will last
for some time. Mrs. George Smith,
clairvoysnt of ST. Clair, was applied to.
The LADY stated that the lost womsn's
body would be found in the woods three
fourtbs of mile from home; described
the locality exactly, and the condition of
the woods leading to it; that the lost
woman had torn of her clothing; that
her nude body would be found By large
log; that it lay on the right side; that
before they reached it they would find her
shawl, and further on shoe, and that
they would find her stockings on pole

a cat-tail swamp SO dense as to be almost
impossible The shawl, the shoes, the
stockings and the bgay were found ex-
actly as she said they would be, and the
body lay on the right side.

a st. Nicholas
There was church festival in honson-
vale, and this Is the way in which Miss
Belle Abbott introduced s new feature
into the we'll worn list Of such entertain
ments. A placsrd WAS prominently dis
played at the festival reading: "Some-
thing New. Don't Fail to See It." All
were kept in mystery until the appointed
time, when the manager, stepping before
the curtain, spoke of the statue of Mem
non in Egypt, which was accustomed to
greet the rising sun wi song. "Mere
obliging than Memnon," he said,
"certain stately American suufowers
have been found ready and willing to sing
whenever called upon Ladies and gen.
tlemeD," he added, ~ have been fortu-
nate enough to secure for our festival 8
cluster of these remarkable additions to
our native 4 ira, and have the honor c.
presenting to you our SrnfoWer Chorus"
The slowly drawn curtain revealed up.
on dark background thirteen large yell
low sun1cWers, with leaves and stocks
complete, ia the center of each human
face. Music came from the piano near the
stage, and to its accompaniment the
cluster Of human sunfowers sang. numer-
Gus selections from familiar operas,
popular songs and melodies and cole &c
glees. The "Suntiower Chorus" was
voted a great success, and those not in the
secret begged Miss Abbott to tell them
how it was done. And this was her ex-
PLANTATION: One foot behind the stage
curtain hang another curtain OF dark
brown cambria, ten feet square; attach
this by rings to wire stretched nine feet
from the floor; tie cords to the first and
last rings, and drawing the curtain tigat-
ly, fasten these rings to the wall on each
side. the top bel now secured, let the
curtain hang naturally; wrap the surplus
cloth about strip Of wood twelve feet
long, two inches wide and one inch thick;
fssten this TO the floor by two large
screws and the f)wer screen will be
lightly stretched. Group the singers ia
picturesque cluster behind the screen,
with their faces pressed against the
cloth, and at distances from the floor
arying from one 10 eight feet; mark the
position of each face, snd cut in the
screen hole into which the face will
closely fit. Going now TO the front of
the screen arrange the flowers end leaves,
which should be fully prepared before
hand. The rays Of the sunfiowers may
be cut from yellow paper and the leaves
and stalks from green paper. Paste the
rays around the openings, then arrange
the stalks and leaves in proper position.
When the paste is dry remove the strip
Of wood from the bottom Of the screen,
unfasten OF e OF the cords at the top and
slide it back until needed for use, when
il NAV be easily put into position In
summer the natural stslks- and leaves OF
the sunfower may he uaed instead OF
those made from paper.-fSE. Nicholas.

a preacher who held forth 10 St. Paul
IN the early lays, in closing up his prayer
one Sunday, asked the Lord "to comfort
the flcted, heal the sick, and raise the
devil" The congregation was, Of course,
greatly discomposed, and even the good
old deacon found it bard work to keep a
straight face. Horriaed by bis lspsus
lingu8, the minister in the meantime
made matters very much worse by cor
recting himself ia the words:
sob, Lord, We did not mean raise the
devil, but raise the dead -
The organist, who was q ssgscious
man, immediately took in the siIustion,
and helped the very much rated parson
out by striking up on hymn tune.

Some Painless waysOf Dying.
DR.. 7. L. CUyler.

A commonly fatal disease has certain
benumbing effect on the nerves, so that
the dying suffer very little. Such has
been my observation. 81 had not
thought" said certain good man, "that
1t could be so easy thing to die" AS
life GIBBS away usually sensibility 10 pain
goes with it. So gently did certain
eminent chemist breathe his last that q
tesspoontul of milk which he held in his
hand was not even upset; the dead hand
held it still. Death is very often slow
fading ont of the faculties, like
the coming On of a tranquil tWi-
light. The sense OF hearing sometime 8
remains intensely acute. so that the dying
overhear whisper in the room "She is
silking very fast" was whispered by an
attendant in he dying chamber of &
response of her who had overheard the
words; "no, am not sinking. I am in
thearms of my Savior" The sense of
sight generally weakens in the process
of dying. A medical friend of mine
said to his wife: "Set that lamp up
closer to me; the room seems TO be
growing dark" Such were the seusa-
tons Of Dr.. Adam, the learned principal
of the Edinburgh High School, who
fancied himself to be in his school-room
and gently murmured: "Boys, it is get
ting dark; you may go home" or deaths
on the battlefield large proportion must
be without severe physical agony, for q
gun-shot wound is apt to numo the SEN
sibilities. When bullet pierces either
the heart or the brain there can be no
pain; probably our glorious martyr,
Abraham Lincoln, "never knew wins,
hurt him" Drowning is lar from painful.
Those who have been resuscitated tell US
that their sensations were rather exnila-
rating.

Tnereupon the President, Mrs. Cleve-

The crowd cheered and the artillery be-
